Russian. There are plenty of Russian speakers at work, thus, plenty of people to impress. Would you rather have a freak week of 75 degree weather in February, plus a freak week of 20 degree weather in September OR leave things the way they are now. ---

Welcome, **Luciano**! We’ve had three Honda Odyssey minivans and have liked them very much, so, Honda. Shall I give you an Oreo or a Pecan Sandy? ---

Oreo, it is always chocolate for me. If you could would want to have another kid now that you’re smarter and richer? ---

I don’t understand the question, are you asking if I want to have a kid if I was richer and smarter? Nah I don’t really plan on having kids at all. Would you rather brawl Vladimir Putin or Bobby Lashley? ---

Never heard of Lashley, [Bobby Lashley - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Lashley), but I think Putin would be a bit easier to take down. That, and I’d want to put the hurt on him for messing with the 2016 election. 7-Up or Coke? ---

Coke. If you had to choose, would you rather drown or burn to death? ---

Drown (and I came scarily close once, swimming off the North Carolina coast). At least it’s not as painful as burning to death. NYC in the fall, or Paris in springtime? ---

I’ve never been to Paris, so I guess Paris in the springtime. Have to make all of life’s important decisions based solely on responses from a Magic 8 ball or Chinese fortune cookies? ---

My [magic pen](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005V1RF6K/ref=asc_df_B005V1RF6K5386027/?tag=hyprod-20&creative=395033&creativeASIN=B005V1RF6K&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167120748614&hvpos=1o2&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4623587964357251480&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031934&hvtargid=pla-309556687387) says: “Not for a Million $”, which isn’t helpful, so I will pick fortune cookies. I think they have a little more wiggle room. My last one said something like “an opportunity is coming, watch for it.” (Yikes, maybe that was the opportunity to use my magic pen?) Eat a fortune cookie for dessert or a mint? ---

The fortune cookie, since I’m interested in seeing glimpses of what the future may hold, as well as gaining insight through snippets of Eastern wisdom. Would you rather go kayaking with Robert Redford, or go on mountain trek with Warren Beatty and a dog? ---

I choose Redford, is camping out in a tent part of the deal (say yes!) In highschool, would you have chosen to be: Cutest, sexiest, most popular atheletic (cheerleader or football star) Or, Smartest, gifted, talented, Valedictorian but not popular. ---

Door #2. Odds are my life will be better in the long term. Go back in time and spend an hour conversing with Shakespeare or Twain? ---

Definitely Shakespeare. Twain was good, but Will was much better. And I’d get his autograph! Win a million dollars, or write a million dollar best seller? ---

The latter, no question. Any idjit can win the lottery; I’d certainly prefer to do something substantive that made me rich. Enjoy a steak with light seasoning or A-1 Sauce? ---

I like my steak with a little A1 sauce. The salad with that steak: blue cheese dressing or a light balsamic vinaigrette? ---

Blue cheese I guess even though I never had either Would you rather argue with a feminist or an animal rights activist? ---

I believe in women’s rights over animal rights, so the latter. Argue with a rabid anti-abortionist or a rabid anti-gay rights person? ---

Gaaaah. I know some people consider it sport but I hate arguing with people who are stupider than me. I guess I’ll pick the anti-abortionist. My arguments will consist mostly of eye-rolling. Would you rather watch 12 solid hours of Geico commercials or 12 solid hours of Liberty Mutual commercials? ---

Geico ads are funnier, but I expect I’d be ready to slit my wrists by the fourth or fifth hour. WYR visit Tokyo in December or Moscow in June?
